ADAS and AHDB are seeking industry representatives to join a new farm network focusing on the use of grass and herbal leys. Farmers, interested individuals and organisations are invited to join the network which will provide a platform to investigate the long-term impacts of leys in rotations

Do you have short herbal/diverse leys in your arable rotation that you put livestock on for extra income? Or livestock that spend time on another farmers’ herbal/diverse ley?
